Introduction

Datatec, the international Information and Communications Technology (ICT) company, announces that its subsidiary Logicalis Germany has acquired 100% of the share capital of NetworkedAssets, a specialist in software development, network automation and observability solutions with operations in Berlin and Wrocław, Poland.

Logicalis Germany and NetworkedAssets have partnered for several years to deliver solutions to customers. Building on that established relationship, the acquisition gives Logicalis Germany an engineering base and local presence in Poland, while adding specialist expertise and operational support solutions for large-scale carrier, data centre and cloud environments.

By combining Logicalis Germany's network and cloud expertise with NetworkedAssets' capabilities, the Group will be better positioned to support customers in automating and operating increasingly complex IT environments.

Effective date

The acquisition of NetworkedAssets by Logicalis Germany became effective on 24 March 2026, being the date upon which the conditions precedent were met.

Statement by Management

Jens Montanana, Datatec's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We are pleased to welcome NetworkedAssets to the Group. The transaction builds on a successful existing relationship, extends Logicalis' footprint into Poland and adds valuable engineering expertise to our European operations."

Regulatory Disclosure

This announcement is made on a voluntary basis as the acquisition does not meet the thresholds for categorisation in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and is therefore not subject to approval by Datatec shareholders.
